I cannot remove search.babylon.com as the search engine for the mozilla firefox start page

I've almost completely removed search.babylon, but cannot get the last bits of it to leave. Search.babylon remains the default search engine of the about:home page for firefox, and no mater how many times I reset the babylon entries in about:config, they just go back babylon afterwards.

I know that there are a lot of people having problems with Babylon, and lots of answers. I've tried every suggestion I could find, without success.

Nevertheless, whenever I open a new tab or page, and try and use the search on about:home (the default mozilla home page, with the firefox logo in the center and "Downloads, bookmarks, history, addons, sync, settings" at the bottom), I'm taken to search.babylon.com

If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.

Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
